I know.
Maybe a little bit more eplaination from my site. I'm going to generate
python source which contains lot of regex-strings and I want this code
to be easy readable and editable.
In fact, editing these regexes is the main reason for exporting them.
So I would prefer the more compact and readable raw-string notation
instead of the smantic equivalent string notation.
So I'm going to write these couple of lines to convert a string in this
raw-string format.
